Antonio Vieiro commented on NETBEANS-4662:
------------------------------------------

This is the class implementing this "scrambler" algorithm in the Oracle source code (this class was not donated with CND).

> Old versions of NetBeans used "scrambled" passwords in connection strings.
> See, for instance, [http://www.cvsnt.org/cvsclient/Password-scrambling.html]
> I don't think this is safe to use nowadays, we should use encrypted passwords or modern techniques instead in Apache NetBeans.
